Misfuelled in Sudbury? We come to you.
Sudbury and the villages of the Stour valley are a long way from a motorway, and a misfuel here can mean a long wait for a tow. It doesn’t need to. Our misfuel van comes to the car, drains the wrong fuel and flushes it out where it stands.
So keep the engine off and call us. Whether you’ve stopped at a forecourt in town, at home in Great Cornard or by the roadside near Long Melford, we’ll come out to you, 24 hours a day.
Call 07904 731886What went in the tank?
We drain and flush all four misfuels in Sudbury, at the roadside.
Petrol in a diesel car
Don’t run it: petrol thins out the diesel that lubricates the pump. We drain, flush and refuel with diesel.
What to doDiesel in a petrol car
Diesel won’t ignite in a petrol engine and coats the plugs. We purge it before it does damage.
What to doAdBlue in the diesel tank
AdBlue in the fuel tank is urgent: it crystallises in filters and lines. We extract it and flush the tank.
What to doScreenwash in the AdBlue tank
Screenwash can trip emissions warnings. We drain the AdBlue tank and flush the system.
